Romo pointing out Dak flaws

[Swagger]

As I have previously stated many times, Prescott is Brian Hoyer with wheels.

Prescott's fumbles hurt the team.
Elliott getting 30 yards and not catching a pass that hit him in the ******* face killed the team.
The O line was overall a pile of ****. Too much pressure, penalties and not particularly good at run blocking.
The coaching, game time decisions were horrible.
Not sure too many offenses that can over come that.

But sure, piss on Prescott!

How can so many people not see that Dak is not the answer?

He is not accurate at all which is more than likely why a receiver has to be wide open before he'll even attempt a deep pass. That pass to Gallup was great but he missed several opportunities throughout the game. He checks down WAY to often on 3rd and long, it's constant, 3rd and 9 throw a 3 yard pass. He does this all game long.

Sure, he's pressured, the line has NOT played great but in today's NFL you throw guys open you don't wait for them to be wide open before you throw to them. He's not accurate enough and because of that he does not have enough confidence in himself to pull the trigger.

Aikman talked about accuracy, Romo talked about decision making and showed several instances where guys were breaking open. Game after game after game this stuff is happening. He's not alone, there are a ton of issues with this team but to not see that Dak is not even close to worth the money that Jerry will be throwing his way is just ridiculous.

Great opener. Closing sentence is on point.

Everything in the middle, could use some improvement.....

I wouldn't expect anything more from you.

No QB gets every pass perfect. Prescott threw a couple bad ones. But watch the ******* game. He threaded some needles and made passes that some say he can't make. For **** sakes, let's be fair.

Likewise.

If you're willing to ignore some of the collective problems, you're also one of the problems.

I watch every game. Have for umpteen years. He is not accurate enough to even have confidence in himself. Of course he hits a few here and there but presnap he's terrible, he absolutely is afraid to throw the ball deep and by deep I mean throw it 10 yds on a 3rd and 8. He dumps the ball off all of the time because that is what he is good at doing. Period.

Once again, we have issues everywhere, the line is playing poorly, the coaching stinks, and receivers are dropping balls. But game in and game out, Dak does the same exact thing, Checks down almost immediately, fails to see open receivers and I just don't see how you guys see it differently.

It's not like I want us to be a bad team. It's not like I'm rooting against Dak I think he's a great teammate and person. But come on, how in the world can there be defenders of his out there as it relates to his play? A 270 yard game is a fluke for him and in the way the game is played today, 270 yard games should be commonplace.

Because apparently you don't get it. My point is....if it is all on the QB like you think it is, then how can Romo be so GREAT if he never got the Cowboys a CHANCE to play in the NFC Championship game?

You are the one who thinks it is all on the QB.

I have never implied it was ever soley on the QB. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find someone on these boards that argues against that concept more than me. It does seem to be a commonly held position of Romo haters though.

 

[Kevinicus]

Let it go, dude. Romo is NOT coming back...lol

You guys use the same non-argument, non-logic-, non-reasoned comments too. Constant deflection.

 

[Dorsett33]

Some truth here.

The ultimate team game is football. I mean, even if one player on one side of the ball made up 100% of the impact (totally impossible) it'd still be less than half of the total team effort.
No other game like it.

Doesn't mean Dak is not playing very poorly. But it is for sure not all on him.

I agree with you to the point of Dak playing very poorly. I don't think he's playing poorly. I think he's playing slightly below average. Very poorly is when he's constantly throwing INTs and being a very big reason we're losing games consistently. Now....having said that, is he missing open receivers.....yep. Every single QB in the league do it every single game. Is he being inaccurate on his throws? Sometimes. Dak is accurate but not consistently. Which tells me, it's mainly his footwork and maybe a fear of throwing a pick....that's me guessing. But he doesn't throw many INTs. To me, he's playing slightly below average.

 

[LocimusPrime]

this was horrible...he had plenty of time to even throw it away

Absolutely. Ugh

 

[LocimusPrime]

there are at least 15-20 other QBs that do a better job than Dak, not just trees and Brady.....How does a QB pick up a blitz? by defensive alignment, and he can thwart that by setting up the WRs with the hot route and if the defense blitzes, then that's where the ball is going, right behind them with a 3 step drop.... or if they show two blitzes, then he can and should make adjustments at the line with the WRs and once play starts, quickly see where the blitz is coming from. He holds the ball way too long and his first reaction when things aren't perfect is to pull the ball down and scramble and hopefully see an open WR or just run it....

all good QBs, make reads before the snap, make adjustments...we are not asking him to be einstein.

Great points

Look at my past posts. I'm the one that argues that it's not just Dak's fault alone. To the contrary, I'm not a Romo hater at all. Lol. But I see what you're doing. You can't justify your point so you turn it to something else. Nice try.

Welcome to the zone. Look forward to reading more of your posts

Beasley is the shiftiest, fasting cutting, zippy guy on the field in the NFL. Anytime he slips between zones, or has single coverage, he will be open. No one man in this league can cover him. He was open twice for what could have been the game winning touchdown and Dak never went through his reads. Heck, Dak never goes through his read when he has five plus seconds in the pocket. Average NFL QB goes through, 3-5 reads in 2.8 seconds, and while dropping back. Dak? He stares down one guy and chokes and expects 5-6 seconds. He's not an NFL QB.

You know who else didn't throw a lot of picks? Weeden. Dak is not the only issue with this team. Sure, our WR's aren't great and the line isn't playing like they have in years past. But Dak is not playing well at all. Defenses are stacking the line because they don't fear Dak. They are taking away Zeke and leaving Dak to beat them with his arm. They couldn't do that with Romo back there (yes, I know he's gone and isn't coming back, that's not what this post is about). Dak isn't good enough to put this team on his back and take them down the field consistently. He is a mediocre bus driver at best. He holds the ball too long, he can hit a WR sometimes but he has trouble with ball placement. Part of the reason you see our guys with so little YAC. He can't feel the rush very well. Every time he spins it seems to be into the rush. He just isn't seeing the field very well right now. Lots of changes need to be made on this team starting with the coaching staff. I'd be willing to give Dak another year but he needs to show the team some reason to give him next year.

I am going on your past posts. You're the one that brought up NFC Championships and attacked a QB for it.
I've argued it's not Dak's fault alone either. That doesn't mean he's not a bad QB (for a starter - love him as a backup).

What point haven't I justified? You're the one deflecting.
